Patent number: 9951108Abstract: A general method and strains of bacteria are described by means where the endogenous DNAK protein or homolog of the DNAK protein is tagged with a recognizable amino acid sequence and that through this tag, DNAK may be efficiently removed, and as such, recombinant protein purification may be greatly improved both in yield and purity with simplified purification steps that remove the DNAK and reduced cost, waste accumulation and labor, and the isolated recombinant protein will significantly benefit research and therapeutics in its application.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: IDEA TREE, LLCInventor: Michael Longo

Patent number: 9951109Abstract: The present invention provides proteins that are suitable to be used as the active ingredient in subunit vaccine against Mycoplasma spp. The present invention also provides a subunit vaccine made therefrom. Said proteins have been experimentally proved to have the capability of inducing sufficient immune response to avoid pigs from Mycoplasma spp. infection. Said vaccine may have one of said proteins as active ingredient; or may have two or more of said proteins and is formulated as a cocktail vaccine. The present vaccine not only is safer than the conventional vaccines but also has equal or even better immune efficiency than the conventional ones. Furthermore, fusion partners suitable for producing said proteins of high solubility are also proved, which can significantly reduce production cost.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Jiunn-Horng Lin, Jyh-Perng Wang, Zeng-Weng Chen, Chien-Yu Fang, Ming-Wei Hsieh, Ping-Cheng Yang

Patent number: 9951110Abstract: The invention provides short peptides derived from an insect neuropeptide for controlling insects, particularly peptides or their analogs derived from PBAN family neuropeptide having at least one dPhe residue. The invention further provides an environmentally friendly method for controlling and/or preventing insect infestation by applying the short peptides in very low concentrations.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2014Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: The State of Israel Agriculture Research OrgInventor: Miriam Altstein Schwarz
